Here, $P(A) = \frac{3}{{10}},P(B)\frac{2}{5}$

and $P(A \cup B) = \frac{3}{5}$

$P(B/A) + P(A/B) = \frac{{P(B \cap A)}}{{P(A)}} + \frac{{P(A \cap B)}}{{P(B)}}$

$= \frac{{P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cup B)}}{{P(A)}} + \frac{{P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cup B)}}{{P(B)}}$

$= \frac{{\frac{3}{{10}} + \frac{2}{5} - \frac{3}{5}}}{{\frac{3}{{10}}}} + \frac{{\frac{3}{{10}} + \frac{2}{5} - \frac{3}{5}}}{{\frac{2}{5}}}$

$= \frac{{\frac{1}{{10}}}}{{\frac{3}{{10}}}} + \frac{{\frac{1}{{10}}}}{{\frac{2}{5}}} = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{7}{{12}}$
